Two-person Disney mix will distract you from the meaningless void that is your life
An acappella rendition of classic Disney songs from Alex G and Peter Hollens isn’t what I was looking for when I browsed the internets today, but I’m happy to have found it.
Batman: Arkham Origins is Only Days Away
In preparation for the Friday release of Batman: Arkham Origins, here is the official launch trailer! Sure does look neat!
I’ve got my copy pre-ordered at Gamestop, and I’m on vacation all next week, so I’ll have plenty of time to play! Here’s hoping Arkham Origins lives up to the previous games. And here’s hoping we actually get the origin of Arkham Asylum, otherwise the name makes no sense! Amiright, folks?
6 Things I Want to See in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been out for five weeks now, and so far, opinions are mixed. I think everybody can agree that the show is well put together, but a lot of my friends and online critics are waffling over whether or not it’s any good. Personally, I’m liking the show, but I can recognize that it’s not very exciting yet. It’s mildly entertaining at best. If this were just a normal procedural and not connected to the Marvel Universe, I probably would have stopped watching a long time ago.
Though who can resist those eyes?
But for exactly that Marvel connection, I’m not about to give up on it anytime soon. This is a weekly, live action TV show produced by Joss Whedon about the Marvel Universe. That is a sentence that none of us thought possible only a few short years ago. Other than a Firefly revival, what else could we possibly want from a Whedon TV show? So I’m sticking with Agents of SHIELD without regret. We’re only five episodes in, so that’s no time to judge the overall quality of a show. But just because I’m me, here are six suggestions for improving Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD.
Honest Trailers – Pacific Rim
One of my favorite non-superhero movies of the year gets the Screen Junkies treatment! Let’s all enjoy poking fun at Pacific Rim!
Aw man, that movie was awesome! Have you ever seen a more punchtacular movie!?
New Captain America 2 Poster Reveals That Cap Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Parachutes
The first trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier is due out in two days (apparently), so Marvel have started the festivities early with the reveal of the first teaser poster! In it, Captain America plainly doesn’t mind standing on an open airplane cargo bay door, mocking the very idea of gravity.
Unless he plans to use his shield like a parachute, which, of course, would be badass.
I’ll post the trailer here as soon as it’s online on Thursday, so stay tuned! I know I’m excited. Also, how cool is it that Marvel is releasing a Captain America movie on the Fourth of July? Thank you, America, for allowing this to happen. That’s possibly going to be the most American Fourth of July of all time! And I say that without a shred of hyperbole or historical accuracy!
